Just want to point out that if Muslims did this you people would call for the mall to be napalmed
Gen Z is turning back to God 125 young Christians walked into a mall in Portland and broke out in worship singing "Our God Is an Awesome God" This is the America the left told us was gone

A final aside: anyone who measures what is good for men by what results in high testosterone is already discredited. High testosterone correlates to lower life expectancy and leads to more risk-taking behaviors. Men's T lowers with fatherhood because they need to stay alive!

She's right; the article she references is whiny, selfish drivel, focused almost entirely on what *feels* good to men with no true engagement in what *is* good for marriages, families, women, and children. A man with this belief is a perpetual child who should remain unpartnered.
For me, having a baby was the beginning of the end of my marriage. My ex and I had set things up to be fairly trad. He made the money, and I planned to stay home with the children. I didn't, however, realize that his vision of that was actual-zero childcare, to the best of his ability. He spent most weekends watching TV in another room with the door closed, while I ran around to parks and playgrounds, etc. Eventually we had no shared life. @jmrphy for @unherd recommends this. I am not so sure. Nor am I totally unsure. I was a stay-at-home-mom, but also had fairly feminist expectations, and I thought that my ex *should* have walked in the door from work and started helping me make toddler-dinner. After all, we'd both worked all day, and his work was a lot more fun. More than that, I wanted someone to share the experience with ... him. We also did have other, deeper problems. But mainly what happened is that I started resenting him and stopped caring about his wants and needs in the relationship (because he was a lazy-ass bum sitting there waiting for his adult-dinner, too). And I devoted my considerable powers to trying to force him to participate, which he did, but so resentfully in his own part that it just wasn't worth it. eventually I started arranging things to discourage his participation. I can think of summer mornings where I was scuttling around trying to get me and the kids out of the house before he woke up.... Also I tend to forget that for the first few years, I tried to treat him like the luxury-king-of-finance that he wanted to be, and *tried* to do it all myself without inconveniencing him, and I just wasn't able to pull that off, logistically or emotionally. I think we were probably just doomed for other reasons, but, with great hindsight, my resentment and feminism didn't help us. And his view of what a father was supposed to do was pretty impoverished. It's possible that if both of us had moved a few clicks towards the other's position, we could have made it. Or if we'd even just done the things we were already doing without the resentment, perhaps we could have grown together into the job. unherd.com/2026/11/is-childc…

Chud fatigue has fully set in. The cheap thrill of offending others can only distract you from your loneliness for so long, before you’re forced to reckon with how unsustainable it is to live in a belief system that proudly eschews all forms of basic human decency.
I have published my treatise on why young men returned to the Democratic Party en masse and it is this: After 10 years of Trump—and the administration’s constant appeals to garish Barstool-tinged masculinity—young men are tired of being talked to like they’re fucking idiots.

One of the biggest donors to American political candidates giving an award to the former head of a foreign intelligence service is certainly a look.
Israeli-born GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson presents former Mossad head David Barnea with an award in New York for his "extraordinary service" to the State of Israel.

This is Gestapo behavior. Inhuman, disgusting beyond belief. Impeach Mullin and Homan as soon as humanly possible.
NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers. 30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

FDR was very explicit when creating the minimum wage that it should be a livable wage. This idea that minimum wage jobs are starter jobs is corporate propaganda used to defend paying people substandard wages.
I find it hard to believe that people who make coffee believe they are owed a salary that allows them to raise a family, buy a house, cars and exotic vacations. They make coffee!

The “left” was inspired by Van Hollen’s willingness to stand up to his own party to do everything he could to stop American complicity in genocide. It should not be surprising that such a moral stand outweighs the career of his parents, which is irrelevant. This childish stuff from the flailing centrists is getting boring. And the dig at him being in “elected office since 1991” is equally stupid. That’s exactly how long Bernie has been in office. Why would that be disqualifying? The collapse of the liberal intellectual class is sad to watch.
The left throwing in with Van Hollen—boomer child of diplomats and career politician who has been in elected office consistently since 1991—is just deeply deeply funny to me. And I mean this with no disrespect to CVH. It’s just odd how convenient things suddenly become.

Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO

CIA Slotkin is cunning and knows when to hold her fire (only attacked El-Sayed by proxy, via Hasan) and when to take her shots. Schumer is in real trouble.
🇺🇸 Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) said Tuesday that if Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer runs unopposed for majority leader, Democrats should withhold quorum, denying the caucus enough members to hold its leadership vote, until he presents a clear plan that members have a voice in. "Whoever wants my vote is gonna have to show me a concrete plan that's definitively different," she said. Slotkin, a moderate who has already called for replacing Schumer, rejected framing the fight as progressives versus moderates, calling it "team fight vs. team flight."

That's a future president
This is why everyone is REALLY scared of him. He is very smart ! It’s been so long since we’ve seen such directness and accuracy. We need more leaders like him in government.

Israeli Paratroopers cuffed a Palestinian man at the Gilboa crossing near Jenin and proceeded to defecate and smear it on him and try to make him eat it. They also urinated on him and put out cigarettes on him. All this, according to Israeli media and the military police. I truly do not know what to say anymore.

I can’t overstate how much joy it gives me to be the singled-out adversary of Third Way and Corporate Dems, and for Corporate Dems to insist that “Corporate Dems” is a “slur” (see the thread). Awesome. I’m in the Lotus.

Since that’s all just math—and math doesn’t care about your vibes—folks on the left now are arguing that objectively moderate candidates are, somehow, Bernie-style far-left “populists”: 4/

Jeffries isn’t even Speaker yet and can’t whip votes from his Democrats to *just fucking show up* to the vote. This is the supposed irreplaceable leader in the House.
Hegseth avoids House rebuke - too many Democratic absences. Impeachment plan sent to committee to die.
